Gov. Murphy Proposed FY 2025 State Budget

Gov. Murphy presented his proposed Fiscal Year 2025 state budget to the New Jersey State Legislature. Totaling $55.9 billion, the governor’s proposed budget recommended funding for several areas affecting housing in New Jersey:

More than $50 million for the creation of new affordable housing units.
$10 million to incentivize towns to build new accessory dwelling units.
$32 million for the Down Payment Assistance Program.
$15 million to assist rental assistance recipients in purchasing homes.
$180 million in funding for lead hazard remediation.
$3.5 billion in direct property tax relief.

While the governor did not propose any increases to taxes or fees, the governor did propose a new 2.5% corporate transit tax on corporations with net income over $10 million to fund New Jersey Transit.

New Jersey Realtors^® will work with the State Legislature and the governor’s office to ensure no adverse impacts to real estate are in the budget before it's adopted at the end of the current fiscal year on June 30.
